Everest - Ghost Notes
2008-06-05 16:39:00
The first track on Everest’s debut release Ghost Notes is damn near perfect. If I listened to FM radio anymore, this is a song I’d expect to hear and actually enjoy. The band is comprised of seasoned musicians out of the Los Angeles scene who’ve spent time performing in acts such as Sebadoh, the Folk Implosion, Earlimart, Mike Stinson, Slydell, eels, John Vanderslice, and the Watson Twins. Not only do they have pedigree, but they have the chops to live up to it. Ghost Notes is a great listen from start to finish. The album kicks off with “Rebels in the Roses,” a highly addictive tune that would fit nicely in Ryan Adams’ song catalog. The band is made up of a group of good pals that love music and that’s what the album sounds like. It’s effortless. And as the album winds down with the subtly stunning “Stumble Waltz” and the slow burn of “Standing By,” I remind myself that this is Everest’s first effort....

"I Have a Dream" Mount Everest
2008-05-22 17:51:00
No politics weekend, 96 hour break in honor of our fallen hero's Since I was a child I had a deep love for mountains. I would draw all my pictures with mountains in them. I mean every picture. Well due to living in a flat tundra above the 45th parallel groomed for farm crops not the worlds tallest mountains. That combined with life's factors, finances, family, training, I was really never able to live a dream of climbing. Besides a small healthy fear of heights pulled me back words. Well lets face it, it takes a special individual to be a climber. To this day I still dream of Everest. Maybe everyone does. I have no idea. I read books about climbers and their stories. Discovery Channels Everest shows each Fall our some of the best TV ever. In some inner Lizard brain I am pulled to a dream of standing on top of the world. But practicality kicks into gear real quick. Mainly its very expensive live changing event. I need to be a Father and Husband....not a selfish explorer leaving...

After days of waiting for weather to clear, the Olympic flame makes it to the top of the world's highest mountain. The Everest climbing team, which included 22 Tibetans, eight Han Chinese and one man from the Tujia minority had been on the mountain for over a week.
